Great, thanks!

Looking at http://v8.googlecode.com/svn/data/benchmarks/v4/run.html I see that the current version of the benchmark appears to include "Splay" but I don't see that test when I run from ant. Is it a different version of the benchmark?

Yes, it's currently based on v3. I'll upgrade it to v4 to include the splay tree test.

Attachment: v8 benchmark suite version 4

Version 4 of the v8 benchmark suite. The new splay.js file tests memory usage, and I had to increase the JVM memory to 256MB to avoid an OutOfMemory exception.

Committed, with minor modifications to make it easier to add other benchmarks in the future.
